Closing the last womenswear day of LFW on Tuesday 20th September 2011, the FAD awards are an industry gem, supporting and nurturing young talent.

Last week, the best young design talents in the UK topped off London Fashion Week at the Fashion Awareness Direct awards, held at Freemason’s Hall. Packed full of family and friends, the atmosphere (as well as being stifling hot – sort it out!) was as relaxed as it was enjoyable – an emotional end to the long journey that the 25 finalists had been on, there were tears!
